Complete streaming video solution
Offered as a fully integrated system, the Accordent Capture Station seamlessly records and synchronizes audio, video and data output from any presentation device (notebook PC, document camera, smart board, etc.) and instantly turns it into an online rich media presentation.
Powerful, yet easy to use, the Accordent Capture Station is a great way to extend your online communication capabilities.
New Form Factor
The next generation Accordent Capture Station ships on hardware from IBM with an Intel 2.8 GHZ Dual Core Processor, 512 MB RAM, 80 Gigabyte Hard Drive, and a DVD-ROM / CD-RW drive. Should any of the IBM hardware fail or malfunction, the next generation Accordent Capture Station comes with a three-year onsite warranty from IBM, ensuring that it will be repaired or replaced at no cost.

MPEG 4 Video Codec
Accordent and vBrick have integrated the Accordent Capture Station and vBrick's EtherneTV product line, allowing users leverage the MPEG-4 video codec for live or on demand publishing of their rich media presentations
Integrated VGA Image Capture Preview
Other feature upgrades include an integrated VGA preview window, allowing users to feel confident that they are successfully receiving a signal from their VGA enabled presentation devices before and during the presentation capture process. This integrated screen also allows users to adjust the capture specifications of the VGA image, including horizontal and vertical position, horizontal size, brightness and contrast.
